    <p class="style1">“People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn’t they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines. There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear.  But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.” </p>

    <h2>What is a Developing Country ? </h2>
    <p>A <strong>developing country</strong>, also called a <strong>less-developed country</strong>, is a nation with a lower <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_of_living" title="Standard of living">standard of living</a>, underdeveloped industrial base, and low <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index" title="Human Development Index">Human Development Index</a> (HDI) relative to other countries.</p>
    <p>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>

    <h2>Computing and Development </h2>
    <p>Computers  are one of the most powerful inventions of the human history.  Starting from a very humble beginning as a hypothetical  computing machine (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine">Turing machine</a>) to the ultra fast super computers of today  and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computing">quantum computers</a> in the future, computers has touched us in every aspect  of our lives. </p>
    <p>In  this fast growing world Developing countries need to find ways to speed up  there development. What better way than to use the power of computers and telecommunication. We can  clearly identify three aspects where computing and telecommunication  technologies can help a developing country.</p>
    <h2>Social  Development</h2>
    <p>When  considering development it’s not only about economical development, the society  also has to develop. Computing and telecommunication can be used to empower the  society. As the society develops economical development will also follow. </p>
    <h2>Economical Growth</h2>
    <p>Computerized systems are everywhere, and the market for software and computer science careers has exploded. They automate many tasks that use to take a very long time that enables more work to get done, making more for less money. This helps keep the cost of things low, and profits high by making more for less and selling to more people.</p>
    <h2>Education</h2>
    <p>Education is a key  factor for any country, especially for developing countries to develop successful  professionals. Computers can help to uplift the quality of education a lot by providing  an audio and visual platform and an information hub that is easy to access.</p>
